He is expected to leave the club in the January transfer window, even though it&#8217;s still not confirmed whether United will terminate his contract or just sell him after the Qatar World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>However, Romano insists that rumours that they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/cristiano-ronaldo-transfer-man-utd-28493337\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">looking to replace Cristiano with Mbappe and ready to spend \u00a3150 million<\/a> on his services are well wide of the mark. There is nothing happening between the two parties over a potential transfer in January.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/12\/erik-ten-hag-harry-maguire-fred\/\" target=\"_self\">Erik ten Hag Wants to Sell Harry Maguire and Fred<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Romano adds that &#8220;we will see&#8221; about whether the Red Devils make a move for him in the summer transfer window, which is normally the period when the club likes to spend big on new signings. However, Manchester United have not made any move to try and sign the French forward in January, even though they will need a replacement for Ronaldo upon potentially offloading him in the winter window.<\/p>\n<h3>Mbappe\u2019s Dramatic Year at PSG Recapped<\/h3>\n<p>The 23-year-old forward has had an eventful year on and off the pitch, being part of a really dramatic story. At the start of 2022, it seemed like Mbappe was destined to join Real Madrid in the summer once his PSG contract expired. However, out of nowhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/21\/kylian-mbappe-staying-paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_self\">he signed a new deal with the Ligue 1 club<\/a> &#8211; betraying the trust of the La Liga giants.<\/p>\n<p>He has scored 19 goals so far this season and heads into his second FIFA World Cup with a surge in momentum. However, things aren&#8217;t going so great for him at a domestic level and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/10\/11\/mbappe-forcing-psg-move\/\" target=\"_self\">it was even reported recently<\/a> that he might look to leave PSG next year after being let down by the management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/09\/manchester-united-diogo-costa-update\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Monitoring Diogo Costa as David de Gea\u2019s Successor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mbappe, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/3511143\/2022\/02\/16\/ancelotti-and-pochettino-heap-praise-on-unstoppable-and-mature-mbappe\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dubbed as &#8216;unstoppable&#8217;<\/a> by Carlo Ancelotti after scoring against Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, has a contract until 2024 at PSG.
